walls world numb touch spilt longing own burning flame gap light ashes

reflections of war
ashes; that  reminder of
something solid gone

burning flame light
our souls warming the love
numb to our faults

close the gap of greed
open the borders for peace
touch a neighbour's hand

roses can enhance
with walls for neighbourly chat
longing to unite

 we own the task of
shaping a world beautiful
spilt errors to right

waiting for the lid 
to open  breaths of freedom
once ignorance spent

suspended in time
of reflection some leave us
we mourn in deep sighs

inky dark thoughts surfacing

first bird song at dawn
my thoughts of the first Noel -
four candles aflame

© gillena cox 2019


Tis the Season. Season of Advent, my favourite season of all time, where hope is never fruitless for God's promise is realised in his love for mankind surely and we ponder again the art of waiting on God's promise.

On the Fourth Sunday of Advent, the last purple candle is lit, representing Peace. This is the last Sunday in The Season of Advent. What follows in a few days is CHRISTMAS. On Christmas morning a white candle is lit representative of The CHRIST.

A happy Season of Advent to all.

So happy to be back posting from my laptop at home through my new WIFI system.

Tis the Season. Season of Advent, my favourite season of all time, where hope is never fruitless for God's promise is realised in his love for mankind surely.

On the First Sunday of Advent: the first Advent candle is lit, which is purple, symbolizing hope. It is sometimes called the “Prophecy Candle” in remembrance of the prophets, especially Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ. It represents the expectation felt in anticipation of the coming Messiah.

A happy Season of Advent to all who observe.
